What's wrong?
The oil pump driven gear in the 2024-2025 Honda ADV160 is part of the engine's lubrication system. It helps turn the oil pump, which moves oil through the engine so metal parts stay coated while the scooter is running. That oil flow matters because the engine depends on steady lubrication under load.
On affected ADV160 scooters, the steel timing gear surface was roughened too much during shot blasting. That rough surface wears against the polymer oil pump driven gear. Honda also found that cooling during molding left the polymer gear with a tapered inner diameter, which lets the gears run out of line. The misalignment increases runout and wears the gear teeth faster. If the gear fails, the oil pump can stop doing its job, the engine can seize, and the scooter can lose drive power.
The warning sign is abnormal noise from the engine. If you hear that noise, treat it as a sign that the oil pump driven gear needs dealer attention.

What's the safety risk?
Loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash or injury because the scooter can lose propulsion in traffic. Abnormal engine noise is the warning sign to take seriously. If you hear it, stop riding when safe and call a Honda dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
